It looks like the fuel tank pressure sensor is on the charcoal canister in the rear of the vehicle. Here is the location of the sensor and how to change it out in the diagrams below. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Hello,

The fuel tank pressure sensor is located on the EVAP canister.
It is the same location regardless of the engine size (2.8L or 3.6L).

I have attached diagrams below for your reference.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

You have commutated the sensors part of the charcoal canister. Not sure of the exact location of the canister. Would much appreciate your help with this matter.
